+Description: MDS may lose file striping (and hence file data) in some cases
+Details : If there are additional extended attributes stored on the MDS,
+ in particular ACLs, SELinux, or user attributes (if user_xattr
+ is specified for the client mount options) then there is a risk
+ of attribute loss. Additionally, the Lustre file striping
+ needs to be larger than default (e.g. striped over all OSTs),
+ and an additional attribute must be stored initially in the
+ inode and then increase in size enough to be moved to the
+ external attribute block (e.g. ACL growing in size) for file
+ data to be lost.
